I must admit I don't like the book from Sabine ("Lost in math") at all. She only argues we have not made a breakthrough for decades which is rather obvious. Stephen at least tries to make such a breakthrough. Sabine does not.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">What I like about Stephen's approach is that he really tries to find the fundamental theory of physics, no matter how hard it may be or how many iterations it requires. There is boldness in his "Let's go & find the fundamental theory!" approach. I like his boldness, optimism and perseverance.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">-J.</div><div id="composer_signature" dir="auto"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto"><br></div></div><div><br></div><div style="font-size:100%;color:#000000" dir="auto"><!-- originalMessage --><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Pieter Steenekamp <pieters@randcontrols.co.za> </div><div>Date: 4/16/20 06:32 (GMT+01:00) </div><div>To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <friam@redfish.com> </div><div>Subject: Re: [FRIAM] The fundamental theory of physics </div><div><br></div></div><div dir="ltr">I need to study it more to give my opinion on it, but some general comments:<div>a) I expect the mainstream physics community will reject it.
